His daughters, Mrs. Catherine Dornan, who formerly lived in this city, but now lives in Seneca county, Ohio, Mrs. Anna Swartz, Mrs. Sarah Zollers, both dead, and Mrs. Mary Voglegesang, who lives southeast of this city in Olivet township.

He was brought up in the Mennonite church, but in early manhood joined the Evangelical church, usually known as "Allbright's" He lived an earnest, consistent Christian, and faithful member of the church of his choice for at least sixty years. Those intimately acquainted with him admired him for his integrity. During the last few years he had much to contend with, but through it all his highest aim seemed to be to do right and trust in God to carry him safely through his difficulties and perplexities, which were more than a man of his advanced years should have had to endure. His funeral was on Friday afternoon. The services were held in the Methodist church, and were conducted By Rev. Matre, of the Vassar circuit of the Evangelical church, who preached an impressive sermon. He was assisted in the service by Rev. Randall. He was buried on 1 Aug 1890 in American Cemetery, Osage City, KS.
*the bio above says 5 sons and 4 daughters. There are possibly 6 sons. The 2 children not listed below, whose burial locations are not know are: Sarah Hunsicker Zollers (1829 to between 1860 and 1890) she married William Zollers 8/9/1849, and Anna Hunsicker Swartz (1828 to before August 1890) She married Henry Swartz before 1850.
